how to capture errors using scripts

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello 

We are trying to write a script in pick basic that will connect to our offices via DSL and upload a file and then disconnect.  We need to be able capture any errors that occur. For example, if we cannot connect to one of our branches we need to know if that failed. Another example is if the logon was unsuccessful, or the connection dropped during the transfer.  We were using the accuterm 2000 programmers guide and saw there are return status numbers for connecting via modem. Will these work for DSL connections?  If so, can we capture them and send them back to pick via the initsession.output command. Thank you very much.

	Hi - The modem response codes do not work for network connections, but you can test the Connected property to see if the telnet connection was established. Make sure to un-check the "show comm errors" setting in the Connection tab of the Settings window. Since the login process is scripted, you can tell if it fails (you do not get the expected response). As you suppose, use initsession.output to send the result back to the host. Thanks, Pete
